Thanks Cathy,

I'll try the mix when I next need to fill up. Unfortnately I filled my washer tank only a couple of days ago...to the brim!

also you need to take that wax off occasionally with t cut so i imagine that vinegar would do it jsut as well

Cathy, why do you need to take the wax of occasionally?

cathy_3

because you get a build up of traffic haze,muck, brake dust, pollution sticking to the wax and it dulls the shine, thats why people t cut the car to take it back to its original colour and factory finish then a good rewax and theres a heck of a difference when youve done it.

same as furniture you need to take the build up of wax off now and again or it starts going duller instead of shinyer
;D

glad it worked much cheaper kinder to hands and surfaces, dont forget the windows and dont forget to use it as an antiseptic if you or your loved ones get any bites outdoors,

you always get "one" dont you ? ;D

I was telling my old auntie about it and she said

you dont clean pans with vinegar you use a cinder out of the fire and it brings the pan up a treat.

worth a try if you have coal fire or a barby isnt it cos thats even cheaper :P :P

i always thought that the dirt was an layer above the wax layer, but even after i had my car supagarded it still needs a polish now and then.

Cheers Cathy. As it happens, the cinder method is quite common in India. It works. I have seen it done.

Alas, as I live in a flat in Central London, no chance of generating any old ash myself! (Don't think setting up a barbi on my balcony would be popular with the neighbours ... the ones below me yell if so much as one drop of water drips from my plants on to their balcony!) Unless I take up smoking .... nah.

I did a bit of spot cleaning on the carpet yesterday. Used your usual mix of bicarb and vinegar, and added a little bit of Cif oxy gel for ommphh and mixed it all it with a little hot water. The resultant mixture fizzed and was quite foamy, which is good for cleaning carpets. Then just dabbed it on to a scourer and scrubbed away, mopping with a dry cloth as I went. The results were fantastic. The spots were either gone or now very faint indeed.

I love these "Hausfrau" moments!

exellent, why not dab some vinegar on and leave overnight see if the rest comes out??

the perils of living in a flat, you always get one who thinks they own the building and torment the life out of the rest of the people there

Im in a detached house now nearest neighbours 200 yds each side

fab wonderful

and could never go back to living in a flat again

I remember my friend bought a flat in london for £295000 and rang her mum all excited in sheffield and said

mum mum we got the flat and mum said

ahhhhwww never mind love youll get a house one day ""

ha haha ;D ;D ;D

Isn't it fun, all the things you can do with vinegar 8)
Did you know...
Apparently you can sit eggshells in a dish of vinegar overnight, and in the morning they will have disappeared - dissolved in the vinegar. It is supposed to be a very effective calcium supplement when you drink it as the calcium is easily absorbed.
Haven't tried it though - I have heard about where those eggshells make their entrance into the world! ???
It explains a bit about how comes vinegar is so good at getting rid of limescale, though... just dissoves it away.

I tell you --- Im scared to put it on my chips now ;D

thats almost as bad as the liver-milk thing

which incidentally scared us all witless and weve never touched liver again
